Abstract
With the increasing availability of passive, wearable sensor devices, digital lifelogs can now be captured for individuals. Lifelogs contain a digital trace of a person's life, and are characterised by large quantities of rich contextual data. In this paper, we propose a content-based recommender system to leverage such lifelogs to suggest activities to users. We model lifelogs as timelines of chronological sequences of activity objects, and describe a recommendation framework in which a two-level distance metric is proposed to measure the similarity between current and past timelines. An initial evaluation of our activity recommender performed using a real-world lifelog dataset demonstrates the utility of our approach.
